It is nothing fancy - a single executable, a terminal window and a log file - but it can clear up some space on servers! (and workstations too!)

I've tried CCLeaner and various other cleanup tools - all seem to force a GUI and clicking buttons, which is not good when administering hundreds of workstations and servers. This tool simply clears out useless files in every profile on the system. The log (in Public or All Users folder) suggests which profiles can be deleted (auto-deleting profiles is not a great idea.)

Particularly useful on multi-user servers such as Remote Desktop servers.

This is pretty much provided as-is, use at your own risk.

It clears up a lot of space without impacting performance or use on many servers and desktops that it has been used on. That being said, it deletes a lot of files! Read through the source code (Module1.vbs) to see what all it clears up.
